Vox Akuma opens up on struggles after cutting recent ASMR stream short YouTube: Vox AkumaNIJISANJI star Vox Akuma has opened up on his mental health struggles again after cutting a recent ASMR stream short. The VTuber is taking a little break, and promises fans he will \u201cgo back to a time where it felt fun and energetic and relaxing to watch me\u201d. Vox Akuma is NIJISANJI\u2019s biggest English VTuber, cresting the 1 million subscriber mark in a rapid rise that has seen the agency explode in popularity in the west. He has used that audience to promote wider messages, such as his struggles behind the scenes with mental health. The Luxiem star came forward with his ADHD and PTSD diagnoses in late October, exposing a very vulnerable side of the often-cool and collected streamer. He went into slight detail about abuse he had faced in the past, and how speaking out about his health helps break down the stigma around it for others. Vox put on a brave face in the weeks since, but got overwhelmed in a recent ASMR stream on November 15, cutting the broadcast short. Fans were concerned about the star who tweeted out \u201csomething about that last scene wasn\u2019t working, I couldn\u2019t figure out what to say and I\u2019m having a panic attack\u201d afterwards. After being flooded with a wave of support, he opened up a bit more on November 17 about what happened, and how he will be taking it easy as he tries to readjust. I feel much better, I\u2019ve been relaxing a lot,\u201d he stated on Twitter. \u201cThe fact of the matter is what happened on Tuesday, it was an eyeopener. \u201cBeing a streamer and a public figure means if you do have a problem one day and things do go badly, there\u2019s no way of hiding it, especially in a situation like that ASMR which was a tight production and I needed to make it work in some way. When I do stream again I\u2019ll tell you about specific aspects of it that didn\u2019t work for me and what made me panic in that moment.\u201d That\u2019s the operative indicator though: when he will stream again. Vox had a packed schedule for this week, but is putting it on the sidelines for now and playing by ear on when he will return. He is starting his first round of medication next week, and he wants to avoid the \u201cnightmare\u201d of coming back too soon. \u201cI\u2019m waking up to the fact I\u2019m putting way too much pressure on myself. I don\u2019t take all the stuff in my life as an excuse to do any worse than I normally would, but it\u2019s starting to take a real toll on me. Once I\u2019m on the path to recovery then I\u2019ll come back to streaming in my normal capacity.\u201d He also wants to get his stream back to a place where it\u2019s a comfortable, safe space for people to forget about their worries, rather than being exhausted with intimate details of his health. Once he has the right frame of mind again, that\u2019s when he\u2019ll return properly. \u201cWhen I got into this business I wanted to be a form of escapism for people, but because I\u2019ve been so unable to avoid my own problems I\u2019ve been reminding people how stressful and sad real life can be. \u201cI feel bad for that, and I want to go back to a time where it felt fun and energetic and relaxing to watch me, and that starts with me. I need to get better first before I can start doing that again. I\u2019m going to play it by ear, see how I feel, and I hope in the meantime you\u2019ve been doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
